'Forsake' in the Bible

My son, hear the instruction of your father,And do not reject the teaching of your mother.

From those who leave the paths of uprightnessTo walk in the ways of darkness;

Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you];Bind them [securely] around your neck,Write them on the tablet of your heart.

For I give you good doctrine;Do not turn away from my instruction.

“Do not turn away from her (Wisdom) and she will guard and protect you;Love her, and she will watch over you.

My son, be guided by your father’s [God-given] commandment (instruction)And do not reject the teaching of your mother;

“Leave [behind] your foolishness [and the foolish] and live,And walk in the way of insight and understanding.”

Do not abandon your own friend and your father’s friend,And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your disaster.Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother who is far away.

Those who set aside the law [of God and man] praise the wicked,But those who keep the law [of God and man] struggle with them.
